Not an easy way I know of. The problem here is the way the syslog is
organized in NT. A part of the syslog entry (and unfortunately the most
important one) is a pointer into a message file which contains the
_real_ log text. The log text which you are interested in is only a sort
of comment. The name of the message file has to be stored in the registry.
You would need an entry there for each application which uses the syslog
facility.

However, there _is_ a way but it's work.
